Which point is located on the lower abdomen, 5 cun below the umbilicus, at the superior border of the pubic symphysis, 0.5 cun lateral to the midline?

• A. KD-11
• B. KD-12
• C. KD-13
• D. KD-14

Answer: (A)

Locating points on the lower abdomen uses the umbilicus as a reference and measures downward in cun, with a small lateral offset from the midline. Five cun below the umbilicus, at the superior border of the pubic symphysis and 0.5 cun to the side, is the description for KD-11. This point sits along the Kidney channel beneath the umbilicus, specifically at that level and offset. The nearby points are defined by their distances below the umbilicus—four cun below for the next point, then three cun, then two cun—so the described position matches KD-11 precisely.
